Devanshi Seth

Dr Devanshi Seth is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of Sydney, with dual affiliations as Principal Scientist at Drug Health Services (Royal Prince Alfred Hospital) and Group Head at the Centenary Institute. Her career spans molecular biology, genomics, and clinical research in alcoholic liver disease.

• Research: Genetics of alcoholic cirrhosis, lipidomics, microRNA biomarkers, and liver injury mechanisms
• Leadership: Founder of GenomALC Consortium, Treasurer of Research Society on Alcoholism
• Mentorship: Supervises PhD, MD, and Honours students with focus on biomarker development

Her work bridges genomics and clinical diagnostics, establishing phosphatidylethanol (PEth) testing in clinical settings. The GenomALC Consortium under her leadership created the world's largest biobank of chronic drinkers, enabling discovery of genetic risk factors.

Scientific recognition includes

• Team Excellence award for Gender Equity Program
• Honored by University of Sydney Chancellor
• International media coverage for paternal alcohol inheritance patterns

Recent publications show focus on multi-omics approaches to liver disease, combining genetic epidemiology with clinical biomarker validation using zebrafish models and UK Biobank data.
